If I Can Tell You The Story

You Can't Take A Character Anywhere They Don't Expect The Character To Go. But Within Those Confines Is Where Creativity Lies

I Have Offices All Over The Place And I Avoid Work Everywhere. I Don't Like To Write - I Like To Be Finished.

In A Given Scene I May Know Nothing More Than How It's Supposed To End, Most Of The Time Not Even That. Scenes Are Improvised. A Character Does Or Says Something, And With As Much Spontaneity And Schizophrenia As I Can Muster, Another Character Responds. In This Way, Everything I Write Is Spontaneous Chain Reaction And I'm Running Around Playing Leapfrog In My Brain Trying To "be" All My People.

I Started Thinking About My Relationship With My Students; I'm This Guy Who Comes In From Book - And Movie - Land And Descends On Angel Wings Into Their Classroom.

I'd Love To Be A Saxophonist. I Don't Know Why, But I Pretend I'm The Saxophonist When I Listen To Music. I Have About As Much Chance Playing The Sax As I Do Learning How To Fly.
